joule electra vs. atma-sphere any input?

I'm using the Joule LA150 MKII with my Atma-sphere M60s, till the MP3s arrive next week. All I can say is if the MP3 with balanced connection can improve with I'm hearing with the Joule feeding the Atma singled-ended I will be very impressed and it will be interesting to hear the "house sound difference" between the Joule and Atma preamps. As stated above, both excellent product lines. And coming to the Atma amps after years of owning the CAT JL2 was a real revelation, the OTLs and my Merlins seems like a great match, I actually prefer them over my CATs (sold them)when matched with these speakers, which I never expected that to happen.

although a different beast altogether, the joule stargate transformer coupled monos aint too shabby either

I just came across this old thread!

I have a Joule Electra preamp with my Atmasphere monoblocks and was thinking..... how much better could it get with balanced inputs from an MP1 or MP3?

What was your experience with the 2 in the sound setup?

@brunomarsThe advantage of going balanced is that if it is done right, the interconnect cables won't play a big role in the sound of the system. If you've ever had to audition cables to get the right sound, you know what I mean.
